“An exquisite and flashy cinematic jewel box”
– Jordan Mintzer / The Hollywood Reporter

“[Directors Cattet and Forzani are] delivering The Old Man Bond movie we’ve always wanted, and infusing it with enough giallo and anime influences”
– Rafael Motamayor / Slash Film

“Crazy and intense”
– Ola Salwa / Cineuropa

“Cements Cattet and Forzani’s place among the best manipulators of sight and sound working today”
– Anton Bitel / Projected Figures

“If you surrender yourself to [Cattet and Forzani’s] formal explosion, you may be inclined to think Reflection in a Dead Diamond is the year’s best film.”
– Maxance Vincent / Awards Radar

“The directors are always playful, but they’ve never been this fun.”
– Philip Bagnall / Loud and Clear Reviews

“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then every shot in Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s cine-kaleidoscopic Reflection in a Dead Diamond is worth its weight in cubic zirconia. The latest eyegasm from the French couple behind The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears continues their pop-art worship of guilty-pleasure ’60s cult cinema. This time, their primary inspiration are fumetti neri, the Italian pulp comics that launched the masked Diabolik character and a stylish (if schlocky) subgenre of crime and adventure films — mostly James Bond knockoffs with giallo-vivid visuals.”
– Peter Debruge / Variety
